Brazilian Beauty -R-

I always loved Hoppe cues and fell in love with Brazilian Rosewood after my first taste of Rosewood on Rosewood. Since that day, I have decided all cues I commission will have a Rosewood on Rosewood theme. After seeing some of the work posted on Jerry Rauenzahn cues I decided to reach out to him. A pure pleasure to deal with, very accommodating and most of all a hands down great cuemaker. So here she is my Brazilian Beauty - Brazilian Rosewood on Brazilian Rosewood Hoppe cue. Sorry for the bad pics that dont due this cue justice.

Brazilian beauty indeed. Thats a killer looking -R- you got there. The veneers flow so good with the brazilian. One quick question is that a 1/2 SS joint over phenolic? Looks fantastic either way. Thanks for sharing your pics. I gotta get up to visit with Jerry very soon.

Thanks Jeff, The 1/2" SS joint does not have a phenolic (or any for that matter) insert. What you see in the pic is the freshly squeezed residue of the wood from the shaft inserts.

Guys if you want a great player cue, give Jerry a shout. His turn around time is pretty good and his work speaks for itself.

Thanks all for the great comments. Can't wait to take her our for a spin this weekend.

Thanks all for the comments. I have yet to see another Brazilian Rosewood/Brazilian Rosewood full splice wrapless cue. The ring work was inspired by a Gus Szamboti cue I saw a while back. I hit a few racks with the cue and the feedback was great, the cue is well balanced and the shafts are not whippy. Overall very happy to add this cue to my small collection of cues.
